It’s been almost 5 years since I broke the screen on my Galaxy S3. Ever since then, I have used a case on all of my smartphones and have never cracked the screen. Well, a few weeks back I forgot to put the case back on while using my Honor 8 and dropped it. Even though it was a very small 6-inch drop, it fell face down into one of stones in my backyard, causing the screen to crack.

In our latest underwater test, we took the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 through various underwater tests including unlocking phone, using IRIS underwater, browsing the web, typing underwater, watching YouTube videos under water, playing games, recording videos underwater, taking selfies underwater, and using different apps underwater. The result was pretty amazing.

For those of you who want to root your Samsung Galaxy Note 7, currently you can root Exynos-based models of Galaxy Note 7 including the SM-N930F, SM-N930FD, and Korean SM-N930K/S/L. U.S. models based on Qualcomm are not yet supported such as AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, or Verizon as they have locked bootloaders. If you absolutely want root on your Note 7 and you have AT&T, T-Mobile, or any other GSM carrier in the U.S., you can grab the SM-N930F or SM-N930FD model, which work flawless on GSM networks like AT&T or T-Mobile. (You can grab SM-N930FD on eBay for around $699 also much cheaper.)

Okay, I’ve been reading up on Pokemon Go bots and although I have not been interested in using one (since that would mean 100% cheating the game), I was rather surprised to find out how easy it is to do.

Honor 8 may be the ultimate Pokemon Go/Instagram phone that offers premium build, killer camera, and excellent battery life. For those of you looking for a phone with a size around 5.2-inches (size similar to Galaxy S7, S6, and HTC 10), the Honor 8 may just fit the bill.

When Pokemon Go app was launched, I was really excited to play the game until I found out I can’t get any new Pokemons due to the fact that the game’s support in Thailand is nearly non-existent. I am staying here in rural part of Chiang Mai, Thailand and found zero Pokemons over the course of few days. Also I traveled to Bangkok for 10 days and found zero. This is a really frustrating game for those of you who live outside Pokemon’s release countries such as South Korea where the game only works in rural city near Japan called Sokcho.

Google has just released the official Android 7.0 Nougat or Android “N”, the next version of Android. While the official version will only be available on newer phones like LG V20 that’s coming out soon, if you have a Nexus device, you can install it today.
